Chamoy flavor sauce is the perfect combination between sweet, sour and a hint of hottness. Ideal with sweets, snacks, fruits, beverages and cocktails.
Chamoy is a condiment from Mexico that is typically served as a dip for fresh fruit. It is made with fruit, such as apricot, mango or plum, chilies and lime juice and is bottled and sold in varying degrees of spiciness.
This sweet, salty, sour, spicy sauce is an explosion of flavor and completely addictive. Drizzle over fresh fruit, rim your cocktail glass, heck, eat it with a spoon! I guarantee you’ll find a million and one reasons to make this sauce. Vegan and gluten-free!
If you could wrap the spirit of Mexican cuisine in one food, it would be chamoy.
It’s salty, spicy, sweet, sour and all of those flavors are at their maximum level. It is exuberant, flashy, and unapologetically bold—basically everything I love about Mexican food.
You most commonly find chamoy sauce served at fruit stands where it gets drizzled over fresh mango, melon, pineapple, and hunks of coconut. It also graces other sweet street food like paletas (popsicles), raspas (shaved ice), and helados (ice cream).
A classic from Mexico - Chilerito Salsa Chamoy hot sauce. With a sweet, sour, spicy and tangy taste you'll keep coming back for more. Not wildly hot, but certainly delicious so you can add to all your favorite snacks, like fruits, vegetables, potato chips, peanuts, popcorn, slushies and beverages.
